Some observations with this firmware.
-IR settings are still lost on reboot.
-WDR intensity settings are different. I usually use a setting of 20 and the picture is much worse than previous firmware. Lowering to 10 helps.
-Video Detection settings are extremely sensitive now. Previous firmware...
I recently got a new Dahua camera and noticed it's non stop trying to make outside connections to AWS. I have P2P turned off everything else that may attempt to connect outside has been turned off. I have 3 other Dahua cameras all of which never try to contact anything even on the LAN. Any idea...
Thanks for the detailed response. It looks like the IPC-PFW8800-A180 may be a better fit in my use case. I was hoping for a flush mount under an eave so I don't have to damage the siding.
